## Gommatasara Karmakanda-51
**Meaning:** In the first Gunasthan, there is a cessation of the binding of all sixteen Prakṛtis. From the Sasadan to the Aprammatta Gunasthan, there is a cessation of binding of 25, zero, 10, 4-6-1 Prakṛtis respectively. In the first part of the Apurvakarana, there is a cessation of two Prakṛtis, in the sixth part, thirty, and in the seventh part, four. In the ninth Gunasthan, there is a cessation of five Prakṛtis, in the tenth Gunasthan, sixteen, and in the case of the Sayoga Kevali, there is a cessation of one Prakṛti.
**Special Meaning:** There are two Nayas (principles) of cessation of binding: **Utpādānuchchheda** and **Anutpādānuchchheda**. Utpādānuchchheda is also called **Dravyārthikamaya**. According to this Naya, where there is existence, there is destruction. Where there is no existence, how can there be attachment in the mind? And if it doesn't arise in the mind, then due to the absence of speech, there is no manifestation, and due to the absence of manifestation, there cannot be any activity of conduct. This is because there is no substance called "absence," and there is no true evidence to know it.
Evidence only knows the real form of a thing, it doesn't deal with the unreal form. If we assume that evidence deals with the unreal form, then we would have to assume that evidence deals with the horns of a donkey, but this is not the case because the horns of a donkey are non-existent. Therefore, where there is existence, there is also non-existence.
**Anutpādānuchchheda** is the subject of the **Paryāyārthik** Naya. According to this Naya, where there is no existence, there is absence. When there is the attainment of existence, there is the negation of absence, because without the negation of existence, absence cannot exist. It is also not the case that there is no destruction of Karmas, because the harmful and non-harmful Karmas are not found everywhere. In other words, there is no absence of what is in the form of existence. Therefore, there is a mutual contradiction between existence and absence. Hence, it is appropriate to say "non-existence" where there is non-existence.
In the Syābād, both Nayas are non-contradictory. Therefore, in the statement of cessation, the statement is made according to the **Utpādānuchchheda** Naya, which is in the form of the **Dravyārthik** Naya.
**Utpāda** means the cessation of the existing, the non-destruction form is the **Utpādānuchchheda** Naya. Thus, according to the **Dravyārthik** Naya, there is a cessation of binding at the peak time of each Gunasthan. According to the **Paryāyārthik** Naya, the destruction of the binding of those Prakṛtis occurs after that final time.
**Vyuchchitti** means separation, but where there is said to be separation, there is also their union. For example, two men lived in a city, one of them went to another place. Someone asked him where they separated, and he said, "We separated in that city." Thus, separation is said to have occurred where there was union. Similarly, wherever there is a cessation of the binding, arising, or existence of Karmas, it is said to be a cessation.
